24FC02T-E/OT36KVAO

Memory IC Overview

The Microchip Technology 24FC02T-E/OT36KVAO is a 2-Kbit (256 x 8) I²C Serial EEPROM housed in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and supports clock frequencies up to 1 MHz. The device features an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and holds AEC-Q100 automotive qualification.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed 1 MHz I²C communication
• Includes hardware write-protect functionality via the WP pin
• Features Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression
• Provides output slope control to eliminate ground bounce

Memory IC Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance
• Industrial equipment operating in extended temperature environments
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-voltage power supplies

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix OT36KVAO corresponds to the standard SOT-23-5 package configuration and automotive grade specifications. Confirm the ordering suffix matches the required reel or cut tape packaging format. Ensure the component meets the extended temperature rating requirements for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when a 2-Kbit non-volatile memory solution is needed with support for 1 MHz bus speeds. It is suitable for designs requiring operation down to 1.7V. The SOT-23 package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify compatibility with existing I²C controllers regarding voltage levels and pull-up resistor requirements.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the 24XX02 family of serial EEPROMs, which includes variants like the 24AA02 and 24LC02B. While sharing similar interface protocols and memory architectures, the 24FC02 variant is distinguished by its ability to operate at higher clock frequencies and lower minimum supply voltages compared to other members of the series.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 24FC02T-I/OT for industrial temperature grades or the 24FC02-E/SN for SOIC packages. Cross-reference with 24LC02B variants if 1 MHz speed is not strictly required, noting differences in minimum operating voltage.
